SUMMARY:Setup a Food Hub as a Community Resilience Tool
DESCRIPTION:Black Hills State University (BHSU) and Spearfish community partners are seeking to create a culture that supports and values local food in order to expand the reach and depth of our regional local food economy. The Black Hills Food Hub\, launched in October 2016\, takes the produce from many farms\, adds it all together\, and then sells it to customers. This allows some farmers to specialize in a few crops that they prefer to grow and/or to have a venue for sales that they otherwise would not have. The food hub eliminates barriers of purchasing local food on cafeteria management\, reducing the time and organization needed for both the ordering process and delivery. Additionally\, large-quantity commitments from buyers lend unprecedented support to the local food economy. While a food hub in itself is not unique today\, we have taken the food hub model beyond the traditional catering to high-end restaurants and marketed local food instead to cafeterias. By servings cafeterias\, the Black Hills Food Hub aims to get local food to the greatest number of people from diverse backgrounds. Additionally\, the Black Hills Food Hub is unique to the area and designed to be replicable in remote and rural areas\, where high-end dining is few and far between.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Education 2030 and the Future of ESD
DESCRIPTION:With the Global Action Programme (GAP) on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) coming to an end in 2019\, now is the time to look to the future.  In a series of intensive brainstorming symposia and a review of current ESD work\, UNESCO has drafted a position paper on the future of ESD\, welcoming public comment through November 9.  By reflecting on the value of ESD and the GAP and drilling down into each of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)\, participants have identified how education is necessary to achieve all of the SDGs. As a “driver” for the SDGs\, education should be front and center\, as it is necessary to educate across all sectors and disciplines\, in a variety of formal\, nonformal\, and informal educational modalities. \nAs a higher education envoy for UN University\, AASHE\, SCC\, and the US Partnership for ESD\, presenter Kim Smith will guide a review of the recommendations and invite feedback.  Come learn about UNESCO’s proposal\, how these lessons emerged and how your work helps advance the SDGs. ESD in action is citizenship in action. \nTo register\, go to:  http://curriculumforsustainability.org/upcoming-webinars-cohorts/
